token_scale {processanimateR}R Documentation

Token scale mapping values to aesthetics

Description

Creates a 'list' of parameters suitable to be used as token scale in (token_aes) for mapping values to certain aesthetics of the tokens in a process map animation. Refer to the d3-scale documentation (https://github.com/d3/d3-scale) for more information about how to set 'domain' and 'range' properly.

Usage

token_scale(
  attribute = NULL,
  scale = c("identity", "linear", "sqrt", "log", "quantize", "ordinal", "time"),
  domain = NULL,
  range = NULL
)

Arguments

attribute

This may be (1) the name of the event attribute to be used as values, (2) a data frame with three columns (case, time, value) in which the values in the case column are matching the case identifier of the supplied event log, or (3) a constant value that does not change over time.

scale

Which D3 scale function to be used out of 'identity', 'linear', 'sqrt', 'log', 'quantize', 'ordinal', or 'time'.

domain

The domain of the D3 scale function. Can be left NULL in which case it will be automatically determined based on the values.

range

The range of the D3 scale function. Should be a vector of two or more numerical values.

Value

A scale to be used with 'token_mapping'

Examples

data(example_log)

# (1) Change token color based on a factor attribute
animate_process(example_log,
 legend = "color",
 mapping = token_aes(color = token_scale("res", scale = "ordinal",
  range = RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(8, "Paired"))))

# (2) Change token color based on second data frame
x <- data.frame(case = as.character(rep(c(1,2,3), 2)),
                time = seq(from = as.POSIXct("2018-10-03 03:41:00"),
                           to = as.POSIXct("2018-10-03 06:00:00"),
                           length.out = 6),
                value = rep(c("orange", "green"), 3),
                stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

animate_process(example_log,
                mode = "relative",
                jitter = 10,
                legend = "color",
                mapping = token_aes(color = token_scale(x)))


# (3) Constant token color
animate_process(example_log,
 legend = "color",
 mapping = token_aes(color = token_scale("red")))
